Barataria, Trinidad and Tobago

Barataria is a town in Trinidad and Tobago. It is just east of Port of Spain and Laventille and west of San Juan. It is part of the "East-West Corridor".

Barataria falls under the San Juan-Laventille Regional Corporation.This is a relatively quiet residential area, home to retired and "middle classes" with streets running north-south and east-west with corresponding names, e.g. "Fifth Street". The usual suburban mix of churches, shops, bars and auto repair shops exist. It is not far from the main highways into Port of Spain direct or via the scenic Lady Young Road, and the East-West Corridor. Busy shopping areas and a modern cinema exist within walking distance. The busy bus route (maxi-taxis abound) running parallel with the eastbound highway runs just north of Barataria. The bus route was originally built to provide access to and from Piarco International Airport in case of a national emergency.
